Gervase House
at Worth

Gervase House has had a varied history and traces its origins back to Worth’s very beginnings as a senior school, first forming up in September 1960.

It has had several ‘homes’ around the School over the years. From September 2017 the House has gone through another transformation: We have moved location and provide for up to 57 boys in Years 9-13. Boys have the use of a large common room with a TV and the infamous ‘Pit’. There is also be a games room with a pool table, table football and air hockey along with a quiet room where students can read or play chess.

The accommodation is a mix of old and new. There are 10-12 boys in each year group and Years 9-11 share 2-4 to a room while Year 12-13 have their own rooms. Years 11-13 study in their rooms during prep and study periods and all their rooms have internet access. Years 9-10 do prep in a separate study room and in House they are able to access the internet via the common room wi-fi.

We have a very strong House team. The new Housemaster for 2017-18 is Mr Alick Macleod (pictured left), who returns to Worth after a year working in China. Mr Macleod also teaches Geography and coaches sport. The Gervase team also includes Deputy Housemaster, Mr Jon Bindloss, and our Boarding Tutor, Mr Robin Moss. We are very fortunate to have Mrs Janine Forbes-Kiely who brings a wealth of expereince to her role as Matron.

Our Patron is Blessed George Gervase, a Sussex born Benedictine monk and priest who was martyred at Tyburn in 1608.
